Question

25. An object of mass X is split into two portions y and
(X-Y), which are then placed at some distance. Then
what will be the ratio of Y/X maximizes the gravita-
tional force between the two portions?
(a) 13
(b) 1/2
(c) 114
(d) 1/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

A mass M is split into two parts m and ( M - m ) , which are, then separated by a certain distance. The ratio m/M which maximizes the gravitational
